Introduction 

A man has always dreamt of transformations. Mostly the latter occurred in fairy tales, myths, legends where the talent of transformation was granted to gods and great magicians. The best minds devoted their lives to discovery of the Philosopher’s stone – a key to transformation of one substance into another. In the course of the researches were made the greatest discoveries in many fields of science, yet the Philosopher’s stone did not become the property of the mankind. 

In the twentieth century the scientists learned to create new substances with the set physical and chemical properties. Our century is sometimes called a century of plastics. Instead of metal and wood, glass and ceramics more and more often we use polymers. They possess unique qualities and frequently surpass natural materials! 

Today the OJSC “Kazanorgsintez” is an enormous production laboratory where the alchemists of the twenty first century are working. Transformation of one substances into others is no magic for them as it was, but a routine business.  

The future will open many secrets, that now improbable matters will be possible. And the search of the Philosopher’s stone never stops. 

The world today is the technocratic world. The concept of progress is connected with the science and technics development process and technology development. And in this world organic chemistry takes the special place of one of the “future sciences”.  

Today polymeric materials pretend for domination in all fields of the human life, from the large-scale constructions and outer-space exploration to the household field. It becomes obvious in the moment of acquaintance with the number of facts based on the real projects and inventions, which are still considered as the Future technologies, but can be realized at the favorable conditions in the nearest future. One of the basic components of each of the mentioned inventions is the use of these or those kinds of polymeric materials. 

Organic chemistry, starting with the direction of modern society development, becomes the original arm of forming not only new technologies but also new science-technical and design thinking. Even the scientists of the 20th years of the XXth century told that such time will come. And we fall to live during the time when these brave forecasts come true! 

Theory 

Financial analysis is the computation of analytical ratios from financial statements and interpretation of these ratios to determine their trends as a basis for management decisions. You can also say that it is a systematic use of accounting information in order to investigate the financial situation of a firm. During such analysis an assessment of viability, stability and profitability of a business is undertaken. 

The overall objective of financial statement analysis is the examination of a firm’s financial position and returns in relation to risk. This must be done with a view to forecasting the firm’s future prospective. 

In the following analysis two financial statements will be used: balance sheet and income statement. The balance sheet is summary of the financial position at a specific point in time. It presents the economic resources of an organization and the claims against those resources.  An income statement reports the organization’s financial performance over a specified period of time. It summarizes all revenue earned and expenses incurred during a specified accounting period. An institution prepares an income statement so that it can determine its net profit or loss (the difference between revenue and expenses). 

Several methods of performing financial statement analysis exist. In this work, two methods are presented: horizontal analysis and vertical analysis. Methods of financial statement analysis generally involve comparing certain information.  

The horizontal analysis compares specific items over a number of accounting periods. These comparisons are performed in one of two different ways: 

• Absolute units. This method of performing the horizontal financial statement analysis compares the absolute unit amounts of certain items over a period of time. This method is valuable when trying to determine whether a company is conservative or excessive in spending on certain items. This method also aids in determining the effects of outside influences on the company, such as increasing gas prices or a reduction in the cost of materials.
• Percentage. This is the other method of performing the financial statement analysis which compares the percentage difference in certain items over a period of time. Such percentages are calculated by selecting a base year and assign a weight of 100 to the amount of each item in the base year statement. Thereafter, the amounts of similar items or groups of items in prior or subsequent financial statements are expressed as a percentage of the base year amount. The resulting figures are called index numbers or trend ratios.

 

The horizontal analysis is conducted by setting consecutive financial statements side-by-side and reviewing changes in individual categories on year-to-year basis. The most important item revealed by such comparative financial statement analysis is trend. A comparison of statements over several years reveals direction, speed and extent of a trend.  

The vertical analysis compares each separate figure to one specific figure in the financial statement. The comparison is reported as a percentage. This method compares several items to one certain item in the same accounting period. Users often expand upon vertical analysis by comparing the analyses of several periods to one another. 
 

 

Overview of the company 

OJSC “Kazanorgsintez”  is one of the largest enterprises in the chemical industry of Russia, located in the capital of Tatarstan Republic, in Kazan. The enterprise is founded in 1958. In 1963 the first batch of products – phenol and acetone was produced. 

Now the enterprise produces polyethylene, polyethylene pipes, phenol, acetone, ethylene glycol, ethanolamines and other products of organic synthesis, the total assortment includes more than 170 denominations with a total production volume over 1 mln. tons. Products correspond to the international quality standards of GOST R ISO 9001-2001 (ISO 9001:2000) and are exported to many countries of the world. 

OJSC «Kazanorgsintez»  includes six plants and the auxiliary divisions located on one industrial platform with a total area of 4.2 sq.km., and possessing uniform transport, power and telecommunication infrastructure:

6. Diversification of the financing base.

Main parameters of activity

 

 

In 2006 commercial output in amount of 15,771 mln. rubles was produced, that is by 16 % more than in 2005. The gain is basically received due to rise in prices by 11.7 %. Production in physical terms has increased by 4.3 %. In the year of 2006 the reconstruction was held in the phenol-acetone, LDPE and HDPE production units. Nevertheless, the percent of use of capacities has increased by 4 % comparing to 2005 and has made 73.2 %. The general capacities increased by 1.2 % and have made by the beginning of 2006, 1,240 thousand of tons of organic synthesis products.
